The cast of The Last Jedi is one of the most talented in the history of the franchise, bringing together classic Star Wars characters, new ones introduced in The Force Awakens, and a crop of fresh faces for the Rian Johnson-directed adventure. The lineup includes Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, and Game of Thrones badass Gwendoline Christie, while Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro and Emmy-winner Laura Dern join the Star Wars universe.

Spoiler Warning!

While these descriptions may not delve deep into the Star Wars films, some details about the movies are mentioned.

So if you haven't taken a trip to the galaxy far, far away, or, if you want to avoid any details on the films, beware.

This is your last spoiler warning!

May the force be with you.

Lucasfilm Ltd.

1. Rey

After spending her early life as a scavenger on the planet Jakku, Rey learns she has the ability to harness “the Force,” and finds herself in the middle of a galactic struggle between the Resistance and the First Order. At the end of The Force Awakens, she brings Luke Skywalker his missing lightsaber, setting up a new relationship between the last Jedi himself and the new trilogy's mighty young protagonist.

Daisy Ridley

Daisy Ridley became a worldwide star overnight with her role as Rey in The Force Awakens, and she’s back for another ride in The Last Jedi. The sequel isn’t Ridley’s only big-budget movie of 2017—she also starred in Murder on the Orient Express alongside Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench.

2. Finn

He started out as just Stormtrooper FN-2187, but after a crisis of conscience, the newly named Finn helped Poe Dameron (Isaac) escape from the clutches of the First Order, and became a hero for the Resistance in his own right.

John Boyega

John Boyega is capping off a strong 2017 with his appearance as Finn in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Boyega appeared alongside Emma Watson and Tom Hanks in the tech-thriller The Circle back in April, and starred in director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit over the summer. Boyega certainly looks recognizable on-screen, but sounds quite different—Finn speaks with an American accent, even though Boyega is British.

3. Captain Phasma

Although she didn’t get much screen time in The Force Awakens, Captain Phasma is one of the most formidable troopers in the First Order. As commander of the Stormtroopers, she wields a ton of power, and she has a badass, custom-made suit of chromed armor, too. What does she look like under the helmet? We have yet to find out.

Gwendoline Christie

Gwendoline Christie is currently the queen of playing badasses in movies and television in Hollywood. On top of playing Phasma, Christie stars as the fan-favorite Brienne of Tarth of Game of Thrones, for which she was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television in 2013.

4. Princess Leia / General Leia Organa

One of the most iconic characters in the history of film, the fiery, straight-shooting Princess Leia is now General Leia Organa, a leader of the Resistance against the First Order. After searching for her brother, Luke Skywalker, for decades, she finally found him at the end of The Force Awakens. Will they reunite in The Last Jedi?

Carrie Fisher

For as iconic as Princess Leia became, it was Fisher's performance that helped elevate the character into Hollywood history. The film legend passed away on Dec. 27, 2016, but she had completed (almost) all the filming on The Last Jedi before she died. Fisher appeared in numerous films throughout her career, and enjoyed a second act as an expert script doctor for Hollywood's best scribes, but the Star Wars franchise is inarguably her most recognizable (and most beloved) appearance on-screen.

5. General Hux

As the former head of the First Order's Starkiller Base, which exploded in The Force Awakens, General Hux likely will be more on the defensive in The Last Jedi. A frequent thorn in the side of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), Hux could provide some drama within the First Order power triangle alongside Ren and the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis).

Domhnall Gleeson

Gleeson knows his way around a big-budget movie set after appearing as Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise multiple times. The Irish actor—who obviously papers over his discernable Irish accent in the movies—has been doing strong work in recent years, including in Leonardo DiCaprio's Academy Award-winning film The Revenant. Gleeson's been on a tear lately: He's appeared in American Made, Brooklyn, Ex Machina, Unbroken, mother!, and both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi since 2014.

6. Kylo Ren

The primary villain of the new Star Wars trilogy wears a mask just like his grandfather Darth Vader, who Kylo Ren is hoping to emulate as he tries to take down the Resistance. The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa has a bone to pick with Rey after she scarred his face in The Force Awakens, and he could be on a crash course with both Rey and his uncle, Luke Skywalker, in The Last Jedi. He’s also the leader of a crew that calls themselves the Knights of Ren—and while we've seen hints of their presence so far, we have yet to unravel who or what exactly they are in this new chapter of the Star Wars saga.

Adam Driver

Driver became known worldwide after being cast as Kylo Ren in the new Star Wars trilogy. Driver had been nominated three consecutive times for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on Girls for HBO, and he’s been doing more and more movies ever since. In recent years, Driver has appeared in Inside Llewyn Davis, Silence, Paterson, and While We’re Young.

7. DJ

Not much is known about DJ heading into The Last Jedi, but in the Vanity Fair preview of the film, he’s described as an “underworld character”. Benicio del Toro told Empire Online that the character is like a knife: “If you grab him by the blade, he’ll cut you. If you grab him by the handle, he can be very, very useful."

Benicio del Toro

One of the most talented actors in Hollywood, Del Toro now gets to add another massive franchise appearance on his resume after appearing as “The Collector” in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. It probably wasn’t too tough for the the Academy Award-winner (Traffic) to switch over to another Disney-owned film with The Last Jedi. Coming up, del Toro has appearances in Avengers: Infinity War, and is starring in Soldado, the sequel to 2015’s pulse-pounding FBI-thriller Sicario.

8. Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo

Not much has been revealed about Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo ahead of The Last Jedi, but she is expected to be a major player in the Resistance's battle against the First Order.

Laura Dern

Dern has been acting since 1973, but with all due respect to her appearance as everyone's favorite paleobotanist Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park, 2017 might mark her biggest year yet. Dern appeared in two of the biggest TV series of the year, Twin Peaks and Big Little Lies, winning an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for the latter, and now she’ll cap it off with Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Lucasfilm Ltd.

9. Luke Skywalker

After going missing for decades, hiding in a self-imposed exile on the planet Ahch-To, Luke Skywalker is finally back in the fold. Rey has sought out the Jedi master for training, bringing his old lightsaber back to him as a gift. Now, the apparent "last Jedi" will take up the role that his old master, Yoda, once held for him. This time, though, the stakes seem higher—and Skywalker himself apparently far more reluctant to step back into the battle for galactic control.

Mark Hamill

Best known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, Hamill has since made quite the impact as a voice actor, voicing the iconic Joker character on Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s. Over the years, Hamill has made numerous appearances on TV and in films, sometimes as himself, poking fun of his Star Wars persona, and other times in films like Kingsman: The Secret Service and Brigsby Bear.

Lucasfilm Ltd.

10. Poe Dameron

Poe Dameron was originally supposed to meet an untimely end in The Force Awakens, but luckily director J.J. Abrams changed course and kept this classically heroic X-wing pilot in the fold. Poe helps lead the attack on the Starkiller Base in the 2015 hit, but mostly succeeds breaking hearts as Star Wars' new designated roguish heartthrob. (With all due respect to BB-8, of course.)

Oscar Isaac

Isaac attended the prestigious Juilliard School to study acting, and he’s been in the business since his film debut back in 1998. Isaac has earned critical raves for his performances in films like Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year, and Ex Machina—all while juggling bigger-budget studio work like The Bourne Legacy, The Force Awakens, X-Men: Apocalypse, and now The Last Jedi.

Lucasfilm Ltd.

11. Rose Tico

Rose Tico is a new addition to the Star Wars franchise, making her debut in The Last Jedi. Not much is known about Tico, but she's a member of the “Resistance who works in maintenance,” according to Variety. If early looks at the film are any indication, expect her to have some action scenes with Finn.

Kelly Marie Tran

Tran has been working her way up in Hollywood since making her career debut in 2011, and Star Wars marks her biggest role yet. Tran is said to be a "breakout" in The Last Jedi, and we're expecting to see her on the big screen more in the future.
